His Excellency received the petition with the greatest satisfact;on, uniting in a step, which he be lieved urgent and of great necessity. Upwards of 3,000 emigrants have already arrived at Quebec this season. NEW ORLEANS, JULY 18. Frem (ear correspondent at Vera Cruz, we have papers from thea city to the 24 inst.; their contents throw little light cm the s;thation of things in the interior of Mexico.— A c'invoy of mules, bearing 1,200,000 dollars, entered Vera Cruz on the 24th ult. We learn verbally that there was little business doing, and that the town continued sickly. There were 24 vessels in port engaged in foreign trade. The Spanish 74, that was delivered over by her crew to the Mexicans last year, in Acapulco, having re fitted, and a crew of 600 men placed on hoard, sailed from that port on the 12th of June, intending to touch at Val paraiso on het way round Cape Horn for Vera Cruz. A report had reached Mexico, that the expedition from Carthagena was nearly ready for sea. Its force was re presented at 29 sail of vessels of war. The American Papers complain bitterly of the deception practised upon them by some artful manufacturer in the iniitation of the most celebrated blue (lye London cloths. The names of most respectable packers, &c. are forged on the leads, and the imitati o n is s o p er f ec t, th a t th e c h eat cannot b e discovered until made up and exposed to the weather, when they change colour, and put on a dirty dark or brown. The papers give a list by which the dealer mart diScover the spurious from the genuine article. The American Papers contain observations relative to the frigates building for the GreekL They complain of the conduct of the Greek committee, in London, and add, instead of honouring the bills drawn by Gen. Lallemande, the Committee, or Messrs. Ricardo, and Co. expended their funds in building steam-boats on' experiment, on the suggestion of Lord Cochrane. It seems the vessels are actually built, but the expence has been objected to, and that the difficulties between their agent, Constansavlos, and the owner of the vessels, have rather increased than di minished; and ask, if they cannot pay for both at a fair price, why not pay for one,which maybe of some use before it is too late. The cost of these two frigates complete was, in all, 900,000 doll ars' about 400,000 of whi c h h a d b een paid several months since; but the agents employed would not permit them to depart until they ascertained the fate of the bills drawn by Lallemande for the balance, which, it appears, were eventually refused to be honoured.

Town Papers have been received to the 15th April inclusive, but their contents are unimportant. They notice the capture of the Bush Rangers, who had so long infested the Colony, and give the particu lars of the trial of Captain KELLIE, of the Cape Packet, for shooting and wounding one of his ship's crew ; he was acquitted. A Saving's Bank was about to be established at Hobart Town.—Wheat 6s. 6d. per bushel. THE FUNDS. During the last week there has been almost a total stag -nation of business, the leading speculators and jobbers having left town, and the price of Consols left off at 794. On Friday there was a considerable sale of Money Stock, and it was apprehended it might lead to a slight depression, but such is the abundance of money that it produced no effect whatever. Very large sales of Stock for time have been made during the present account, which have like wise produced no alteration in the price. It seems to be a general opinion that the Funds. will improve, unless any thing.-_of a politi ca l na t ure s h ou ld occur t o preve n t it. I n the Mexican Market there has been very great fl uctuation, the Ir4st price being s n . There seems hardly a doubt but that the approaching dividend will be paid ; the only doubt is by whom it will be paid. CITY, Twelve o' Clock. The little business which has been done in the English Market this morning exhibits a very trifling variation ; Consols opened at 79 to 79, and advanced to 7941. The same apathy attends the Foreign St oc k E xchange, Mexicans are 5 2 to 524 ; Colombian Bonds 334 to 34. No satisfactory news has arrived by the New York p ac k et s hi p, at Liverpool, of the long-looked for dollars to pay the dividend on the former security.

His LORDSHIP stated that he could not give judgment in this case to-day, as he had intended, upon the plaintiff's application to tax the defendant's bill of costs, because he had received a letter only last night, from Mr. Freshfield, soliciting a postponement of the judgment, that he might have an opportunity of answering the affidavits the plaintiff had furnished the Court with at its suggestion, which he (the Chancellor) could not but comply with. Mr. STFAD wished to know if his Lordship would limit the time for answering the affidavits, which opportunity he was by no means anxious fo withhold. Hi; LORDSHIP thought it proper that the opportunity should be afforded, but as proper that it should be limited to a week or ten days. GLASSINGTON V. THWAITES. His LORDSHIP stated, that in the whole eourse of his experience, in the business of this Court, now between forty and fifty years, he had not met with a more entan gled case, nor one that had puzzled him so much as the present. He regretted that Counsel were not in attend ance, because the fucts required a great deal of further consideration before he could undertake to make an order. A gentleman present informed the Lord Chancellor, that if he chose to go into the case, the statement should be laid before Counsel. His LORDSHIP, upon this statement being made to him, went fully into a detail of the proceedings that had taken place from the commencement of the suit until the present day, making comments thereon, which occupied no incon siderable portion of the morning; accompanying this detail with his earnest wish that the statement might not be conveyed beyond the eye of the Counsel, and parties In the cause. This*vish he entertained from an anxiety that the case might not be prejudiced in any way, from what fell from him, in the absence of the gentlemen in whose hands the protection of the interest of both parties was. The Reporters, however, were permitted to remain in his Lordship's room during the making of the detail, and we apprehend, we shall not abuse his Lordship's courtesy in permitting us to remain in his room, by mak ing this short statement of the representatio n o f thei case— that to the plaintiff's bil, alleging misconduct in the management of the Morning Herald partnership con cern, and calling for an account, the defendant Mr. Phillip put in what he called an Answer and disclaimer; that the plaintiff, Mr. Glassington, did not except to that thing, so called; that he amended his bill; that to that amended record the same sort of thing was put in as was put in to the original record; and th a t th e great question now was, whether the plaintiff ought to have spe cial leave to take exceptions to the first answer and dis claimer, having, from what he had done, let pass the regu lar opportunity of taking those exceptions ? Subject to what his Lordship may hear from Counsel on both sides, in November, his present opinion was, that the justice of the case required that the special leave sought by Mr. Glassington should be granted, notwithstanding any thing he had done. BEACH V. BEACH. Mr. RUSSELL moved for an Injunction ex-parte, upon an affidavit of Mr. Beach the elder, stating, that he and his son, the defendant, were in partnership together as Oil coopers, at Dock-head, Bermondsey. That the defendant had, from the company he had kept, become idle and dissi pated, and was most improperly using the partnership property. The injunction therefore sought was to restrain him from drawing, accepting, or negotiating any bills of exchange in the name of the partnership, and from inter fering in any way in the partnership business. The Injunc tion was also called against the holder of a 2001. bill, part ing with the same.—lnjunction granted. SOLICITOR GT.NERAL. Sir C. WETHERELL had another long interview with his Lordship in the course of the day. His LORDSHIP saw all parties who wished admittance on the subject of their cases, and then rose. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—(Tuis DAY). This morning this Court resumed its sitting for the first time since the amendment in the late Act of Parliament for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. There wertoeases of intiC;tance before the Court. Robert Fitken was remanded, owing to an informality in his notices and schedule. The insolvent hoped the Court would not remand him, as the informality did not rest with him, but with his at torney. Tlie Attorney pleaded indisposition. Commissioner LAW—The notices, &c. are precisely the same as before, save they are more explicit--(Then ad dressing himself to the insolvent)—lt certainly is a hard case upon you ; but if you may hereafter think proper to move the Court to change attornies, every attention will be made to the application. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(Tiris DAY.) To-day these Sessions commenced at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell Green, before Mr. CONS; Chairman, and a full bench of Magistrates. Henry Haws was indicted for an assault on Elizabeth, the wife of John Martin, on the 15th of last May. Mr. Pliewes was engaged for the prosecution, and stated, that the husband o f the p rosecutr i x was a respect able tradesma n , d ea li ng i n grocery, &c. On the day before mentioned, the pros ecutrix left her oa o found e o f themthe r three shop for a fe w mi nu t es , an d on her return dirty little child ren b e hi n d th e counter . had two bundles of wood under her arm. As the prose cutrix dealt in that article, this naturally excited her u sp cion, and she pushed th em out o f th e s h o p u pon esi answering. Y her impertinently. Th e d e f en d ant short] afterwards ame in dressed as a butcher.

H e rep li e d w i t h an that he would take the law into his ow n h a nd. A scu ffle ensued, in which the prisoner heat the prosecutrix in a most savage manner, and she was obliged to have medical attendance for a fortnig ht 'afterwards. The prisoner calls several witnesses, one of whom proved that the husband of the prosecutrix bad knocked the daughter of the prisoner down in the street. The pri soner cross-examined the prosecutrix as to whether she was really the wife of Martin, but he could not disprove the assault. He was found guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of 101., with liberty to speak to the prosecutrix. Zaoharian Wombwell Nvus indicted for an indecent assault on the person of Harriett Beck, a girl aged 13.

The witness here, with e H t e u t l o d o took fi l e n e n to great apparent shrewd ness and flippancy, aescAed the offence, which even, from her own account, was not of great enormity. She was cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY at considerable length, and ultimately admitted that the defendant's wife and son were in a kitchen adjoining the cow-house. That she did not cry out or say any thing about it on leaving him, but went home and told her mother. On quitting the defendant she thanked him on his telling her that she might have hay whenever she pleased. She had not been before a Magistrate. The mother corroborated the statement of the child as far as she was concerned. Mr. ALLEY contended, that no case had been made out. His Learned Friend had stated that it was an important feature of a case for the injured party to make an immediate complaint. H e was of that opinion him self, and he considered the observation applied strictly to this case. No complaint had been made in this case in the proper quarter before a Magistrate; and from the sharp manner of the prosecutrix in giving her testimony, he believed that the assault never took place at all, and submitted the case to the Jury as conscientious men, with a confidence of a verdict of acquittal. Verdict—" Not Guilty." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE...4Ins DAT.) FORGERY.—Richard Randall was this morning brought before the Loan MAYOR, on a charge of forgery. Mr. Lea Wilson, silk manufacturer, Wood-street, de posed, that about the 21st of September last year, the prisoner came to his shop and purchased goods to the amount of 150/., and in payment tendered a bill of ex change, dated for the sum of 142/. Is. purporting to be drawn by Richard Thomas, of Truro, upon Robert Mitchell, of the sam e pl ace , purporting to be accepted by him. It was made payable at Messrs. Glyn's, to the or der of Richard Thomas. The LORD MAYOR said, that he felt it his duty to com mit the prisoner, who was accordingly fully committed. BOW-STREET—(Twis DAY.) John Philpot, the licensed proprietor of a one horse ma van, was brought up on the information of Mr. Sykes, so licitor to the Stamp office, for having carried more passen gers than the Act allows. - Mr. Sykes stated, that by an Act passed in the 7th year of Geo. IV. carriages on four wheels, drawn by one horse, are not allowed to carry more than six passengers. car riages on two wheels no more than four passengers, under a penalty of not more than 20/., and not less than 51., for every such transgression. He had frequently witnessed the defendant to burden his horse with ten or twelve per sons ; and he felt called upon, through humanity, to put a check to such acts of cruelty. He had the defendant fined in the penalty of 54 at the Mansion-house; and he was sorry to find it had not the effect of confining him within legals limit. The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty." Joseph Johnson, inspector of the stage coaches for the town district, deposed that he saw seven passengers, ex clusive of a child, in the defendant's caravan, on Monday, the 14th of September, in St. Martin's-lane. There being no evidence to rebut this, the defendant was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 51. William Rayner was brought up on suspicion of theft. Previous to the case coming on, one of the officers informed Sir Richard Birnie, that Mr. Roe, a magistrate belonging to the Marlborough-street district, within which the charge was made; had directed the case to be brought to Bow street, for particular reasons. SIT RICHARD BeaNIE wished to know the reasons, when Susan Walker, the prosecutrix, stated, that she had an in timate knowledge of Mr. Roe since she had been fifteen years old, and that consequently she did ntl wish to appear before him under such peculiar circumstances; she then de posed that the prisoner, who was a bricklayer, had slept with her about ten days ago , w h en s h e showed him a 10/. note and two sovereigns, which she had received from Mr. Roe, as trustee to her marriage settlement, (for, she had been now married four years); the , prisoner got up about nine o'clock in the morning, and went off in a hurry ; she immediately afterwards missed the money, and she was sure that no person but the prisoner could take it. The prisoner denied all knowledge of it, end, as a proof of his innocence, said that he had surrendered himself to an Officer when he heard of the charge being brought against him. Sir RICHARD BIRNIR said, that there was no evidence to substantiate the charge; but as money had been bolt in Lambeth, he referred it to Union-hall, where the prisoner was accordingly conducted. HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tms DAY.) Thou= Cox, a sweep, was brought before A. S. LAING, Esq., charged with stealing a watch under the following circumstances:— About a mouth since a young man named Yates was accosted on Clerkenwell-green by an individual who, under pretence of picking up a shilling, insisted on treating him, when they adjourned to the General Graham, where were several persons, and among them the prisoner, who ap peared well acquainted with Yates's new companion.— After a slight conversation some wagers of a e eculiar nature were introduced, and Yates, with a certa►nty of winning, was induced to stake his watch against .5a., both of which were deposited in the hands of the waiter, who received orders from his mistress to have no thing to do with it. The wager had, in the mean time, been decided; and before" Yates could reach his watch from the waiter's hands, it was snatched by the prisoner, who ran out of the house, followed by the whole party. The prisoner had not been discovered until yes terilay, although a strict search had bean made for him, when Mr. Beck, the landlord of the Graham met him, and knowing what had transpired, though absent from home at the time, gave him in charge. The man who took Yates to the house has been fully committed for the same offence. Mr. LAING said, the prisoner must be remanded till to morrow, and all the witnesses on the other committal must attend. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the transaction. QUEEN-SQUARE—(Tms DAv). UTTERING COUNTERFEIT MONEY.--Mariha Bird, a very interesting young girl, underwent a final examination on a charge of uttering bad money. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had gone to the shop of Mrs. Elizabeth Illeadon a pastrycook's, m Paradise-row, Pimlico, and in the purchase of two tarts tendered a bad shilling. It seemed that on two former occasions she had disposed of money in the same way and escaped, however, in the third attempt, a constable was sent for, who took her into custody. Mr. John Field, an Inspector at the Mint, on examining four shillings, pronounced three of them base and counter feit, and from one die. _ _ The prito - ner, in her defence, denied knowing, the shil ling was bad, and declared she never was in the sing) before. - Fully committed for trial. On Sunday morning last, an admirable Sermon was preached at the Abbey Church, Great Malvern, by the Rev. J. Mackie, M.A., Chaplain to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, for the benefit of the Sunday Schools of that Parish=the collection after which amounted to upwards of 501.

Mr. and Mrs. Secretary Canning, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, &c. were of the dinner party given on Friday by his Lordship. One of the Sunday Papers of yesterday states " that the Duke of York has been ordered to be tapped ;" but we hope that there is no truth in the statement. DISTRESSED PRINTERS.—We understand that it is the intention of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, with that liberality for which he is so dis tinguished, to honour with his Patronage the Benefit for the Distressed Printers, intended to be taken at the Coburg Theatre. THE LATE LORD GIFFORD.--Yesterday morn ing, between eight and nine o'clock, the remains of this Nobleman, in a hearse, followed by only one mourning coach, arrived at the Rolls house in Chan cery-lane. • The body was placed on tressels in the library, where by his Lordship's particular desire, it will remain without any pomp or state. Even candles are not to be lighted until the morning of its final removal for interment, which is fixed to take place at twelve o'clock to-morrow, in the vault of the Rolls Chapel, adjoining the Court-house. The Lord Chancellor has signified his intention of attend ing the funeral, which, no doubt, will be followed by the principal law officers and other Gentlemen of the profession. On Friday, the Lord Mayor, and Lady Mayoress, accompanied by Alderman Lucas, Atkins, and their ladies, the City Solicitor, City Remembrancer, Chap lain, and a select party, went down the river in the City of London steam-packet, to Sheerness.

Mr. James Russell, of No. 28, Broad-street, Golden square; surgeon, being sworn, said, about five o'clock yes terday afternoon the deceased was brought to his house ; he immediately examined him, and found he was nearly dead ; his collar-bone was fractured, and the whole of the chest had been forcibly compressed ; a mark appeared across the deceased's neck and chin, apparently from a wheel. 'Witness instantly applied stimulants to his nostrils and temples, and the application to the nose produced one or two convulsive gasps, from which he considered life had entirely ceased. Witness opened a vein in the urm, and that not bleeding, he opened the jugular one, which bled a little. The deceased died a few minutes after he was brought in. All pulsation had ceased at the wrist., and regular breathing, when he first saw him. The gasps were those only occasioned by convulsions, and the injuries which deceased sustained, were the cause of death. Mr. James Homes sworn, he was in Silver-street, on the afternoon of the accident, and saw a fire-engine drawn by two horses belonging to the Royal Exchago Assurance Company, proceed down James-street, at a sharp trot, and about ten yards distance from him, he observed the de ceased suddenly run across the street, at the head of the horses. Witness did not know but what he had cleared them, until he noticed the deceased under the wheel of the engine. The driver instantly stopped the horses, and if he had had reins, he could not have pulled up quicker. The man was opposite the head of his shaft horse at the moment of his turning into James-street, and all the way down Silver -street, he was with the fore horse. There was no blame attached to the driver whatever. Verdict—" Accidental Death."—Deodand on the horses and engine, One Farthing. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Captain Farnham's match to trot his horse Gulliver nine miles in thirty-two minutes took place on Saturday morning early, on a mile circle, at Hellion, near Epping Forest. Immense sumo were pending on the match, which was won, with once breaking from the trot, and apparently without much labour, in Si mi nutes and 37 recoil& &WWI AR CIRCUMSTANCE —ABINGDON. As the two horses, Trinculo and Comedian, were out at exer cise yesterday morning, near Abingdon race-ground, they were passed by another horse at full speed. They felt indignant at being left in the rear, and instantly holOd in pursuit of him, throwing both their riders, and leaping hedge, ditch, and, in short, every obstacle that came in their way. Trinculo, who was in the rear, seized on Comedian, who escaped with difficulty by leaping into the Thames at a place where it is full twenty feet deep. Trinculo pursued him, but luckily both horses were got ashore uninjured, by some countrymen who were passing at the time, and witnessed the novel circumstance. SHOOTING. Wu:cum:Tex.—Though the birds were so wild that scarcely one covey in ten would allow the dogs to conic within gun-shot, yet Colonel Hawker (who was on the let day laid up unwell in London, and consequently did not begin till the 4th) had the beet day's sport that was, we believe, ever known, for one persen, in the neighbourhood of Andover. He bagged 28 brace of partridges and seven hares, making 69 head of game in nine hours. This he accomplished by selecting an open country ; first placing markers, and then riding the birds down, with what he calls " charges of cavalry," before he began shooting. THE MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE.—(Tuts DAv). The arrivals of English Grain last week were moderate, and this morning the quantities of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease, are not considerable, but of Foreign Oats the supply is large• Wheat of fine quality sells slowly at last Monday's terms, all other sorts are very dull, and rather lower. Barley is without varia tion. Beans have further declined 2s. per quarter. Pease are not much in demand, and remain as last quoted. Oats have met an few buyers of late, that the trade has been in a very languid condition, and declining in prices, but this morning there is la ther a better demand, at no improvement in value. Flour is unaltered. English trieh Foreign ARRIVALS or LAST WEPX. Wheat... Barley. Malt. Oats. /leant Vease. , Flour. 2 Qrs, I Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.
